Notes
• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate
terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cords
are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack
bass.
• Make sure all connections are firm. Contact between bare
speaker wires at the speaker terminals may cause a short-
circuit.

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the
amplifier. To prevent this, make sure to take the
following precautions when connecting the speakers.
Make sure the stripped ends of each speaker cord does
not touch another speaker terminal or the stripped end
of another speaker cord.
Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord:

Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker
terminal.

Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive
removal of insulation.
After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC
power cord, output a test tone to check that all the
speakers are connected correctly. For details on
outputting a test tone, refer to "Adjusting the speaker
volume" on page 17.
If you have connected rear speakers, be sure to press
the 5.1 CH/DVD button on the amplifier before
outputting a test tone so that the tone is output
individually from the left and right rear speakers.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a
test tone or a test tone is output from a speaker other
than the one whose name is currently displayed on the
amplifier, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this
happens, check the speaker connection again.
